Adopt Me, American Lady.

Megan from CONECTICUTT writes: "...Dearest Chris, On my recent school trip to Greece, I saw this homeless dog who sorta blends at the Acropolis and immediately thought of you! Then, at some ruins, I also stumbled upon a cat. Homeless animals abounded everywhere and I eventually witnessed a stray dog attacking a gypsy... good times!!

Oh I've been to Greece too! The country, culture, people, traditions, everything is amazing & beautiful!! How long were you over there? BUT they do have poor homeless cats & dogs everywhere!! So sad! In Athens I'd buy snacks & feed them to the strays. It was so heartbreaking that I couldn't resist-despite the stares I got from people. On the island of Crete friends & I "adopted" a one-eyed cat that hung around. We'd sneak it into the pension. It was awful leaving it but the shop keepers next door cared for it too. So, hopefully it continued to live happily. In case anyone is interested & would want to help the strays, contact www.greekanimalrescue.com It's a group that works to relieve the suffering of Greeks animal friends.

You haven't lived until you've fed bits of meat to kittens outside the museum at Delphi. It starts with one cute little thing and then escalates to a hoard of them crawling all over you while the other tourists laugh and point.

You're right, Dialecti. Unfortunately, there are strays everywhere. It's awful. Local rescues are bursting at the seams, which is why everyone should spay/neuter their pets, never let pets roam unsupervised, & donate and/or volunteer at their local rescue(s). If everyone did their parts, maybe there wouldn't be so many strays.

Hello everyone and everyone will read my comment, my name is Dean, rescue work for several years, my passion to save lives and help others when they have problems.
